October #BraveQuilter Challenge and Monthly Goal

Now, the is something I have wanted to try for a long time, but have been putting off and off - quilt-as-you-go. Making the blocks part is pretty much clear, it's connecting the blocks part that I would like to figure out.

I have a few blocks (two of which were featured here as quilting samples for my quilts) that I want to make into a quilt, though I still need at least as many:

So, my #BraveQuilter challenge for October will be to connect my quilted blocks using one of the quilt-as-you-go methods out there. #BraveQuilter challenge link up is hosted by Julie at Pink Doxies and she encourages everyone to try out new things in sewing - whatever is new for you - and you still have time to join in this month's collection.

My monthly goal for October will be to make the remaining the blocks for this quilt and lay them out (probably even finish the quilt!). The OMG link up is run by Heidi at Red Letter Quilts and I even won a prize at September link-up (Thank you Heidi and Bagmaker!) - so you can too)))

I am also linking this post to Free Motion Mavericks at Lizzy Lenard Vintage Sewing, because my blocks are about FMQ and because Muv there has made a beautiful quilt-as-you-go quilt which inspired me to finally take the step))) - click on the link to enjoy exquisite FMQ designs.

I also tried quilt-as-you-go recently and I just loved it. I guess you'll love it too. Those blocks above that you've planned to use are gorgeous with their earthy colors. I pinned them. Have a good day!

There are a few different QAYG methods around, but none of them are hard really. I have used (and taught) some of them, and recently saw another variation which I love to try... I love your blocks, they will make a gorgeous quilt!
